I have been taking levothyroxine.075 for over a year, have not had any trouble until about 2 months ago they took me off of Lyrica. After the lyrica was out of my system, I started to feel terrible. It started in my feet, they put 3 sets of shots in my feet, then I noticed I was tired, my legs felt like they would not carry me. I ached all over. The last straw was I was sooo hot, sweaty and then the headache and nausea. Just felt like I was dying a slow death. Finally I called my doctor, he said we needed to check it. Does anyone have any advice about different kinds of medicine or why it started acting up? Sure wish I would have thought of this a month ago. It has been a long couple of months. Any advise?
I have thyroid problems. Is it hard to regulate?

Hello. How quickly did they take you off the lyrica? Was this carefully done with a physician?
Thyroid levels turning hypo can cause the fatigue, mood changes, and even temperature sensitivity.
However the other symptoms sound like the lyrica. The heavy legs, nausea, headaches are symptoms of medication withdrawal for Lyrica or some other medication. Your doctor may not have taken you off slowly enough.
please dont suffer any longer and see the doctor right away. Get your TSH labs and any other tests he suggests. Get an appointment with an endocrinogist to manage your thyroid condition. They do a better job than a general physician, I have found. Be sure to have a long talk with your doctor to better understand thyroid symptoms.
Stay in touch and let me know how this works out for you. Karen
Managing thyroid levels are very slow and when adjusting thyroid med doses, a new TSH is taken about every six weeks. Never, ever stop taking the medication as the body does not function without it and it can be deadly. Be sure to take exactly as your doctor says.
Always see a physician when you experience changes in how you feel. Be sure to let your doctor know all medications you are taking.
Finally, you did not state if you are taking any other medications, your general age, and/or other health problems you may be having. Do you still have a thyroid or have had surgery on it? These all contribute to the main picture and help with understanding what is going on with you.
Visit the thyroid site on the web for more information on thyroid. Or ask away. Or look up past questions on this site that will have interesting discussions. This is an open forum and plenty of information here. Many supportive people. Would love to help you more but need more information about you to be more helpful. Karen
No I have not had surgery on my thyroid. It took about a month and a half to come down off the lyrica. I have been off it for over a month. All the things that were going wrong I should have none it was my thyroid.

There are lots of rumor and misinformation in here about Armour thyroid extract. Armour thyroid is made from American grown hogs and processed in the US. www.armourthyroid.com. For years Armour thyroid was produced in Phoenix, AZ, then the plant was closed down by the FDA and EPA in 2009. That's the main Armour slaughterhouse. Dried hog extract was imported from Canada, and you had to take a script to a compound pharmacy. I slowly became ill. My doctor told me it was pork extract, as I was worried about mad cow. No beef products come from Canada, especially for medical purposes.
Before 2009- Armour thyroid was from beef. Forest laboratories, Inc now produce the thyroid. Their thyroid site does say that a person with thyroid problems should be very careful with anticoagulants, and it causes symptoms of diabetes. This answers some of my questions.

I personally think the whole being able to play on your tablet/phone as backup in the form of a recon/assault drone is pretty neat. Think of the folks that have no PC's and only those as a means to play. I have a few friends excited as they are in that boat. Also, I was thinking I could dual account and play one from my tablet so I always have aerial support and logistics. Yes some could consider it as wrong but I do not. It's how I chose to play the game. The E3 Vid was interesting, def sparked my interest. I like this genre I am burnt out on Fantasy with dragons. I like the whole post apoc fantasy much better as it is not over done. The Open deadly world PvP is going to be twisted. http://tomclancy-thedivision.ubi.com/game/en-US/game_info/index.aspx I know it is scripted but hey, me and my 4 buds will play like that when it releases. That is the best part the adventure of exploring a new world with friends together. We will take our time and what not we don't watch too many spoilers... if any. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFHwI-DvYrM Going to buy a console just for this, with a few other buds of course. We are Microsoft fans so we will get the Xbox. |
I think its neat i can play an mmo with gameplay of a cover/tactical shooter and that alone is next gen for an mmo to me.

ARISE, Mr Goodwin. On January 31st the Honours Forfeiture Committee ruled that Sir Fred, as he has been since 2004, should be stripped of his knighthood after his tenure as chief executive of the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) ended ignominiously with a huge bail-out. Mr Goodwin joins a list of ex-Sirs that includes Anthony Blunt, a Soviet spy, and Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe.
Mr Goodwin's replacement, Stephen Hester, has also faced opprobrium after the company's board agreed to pay him a bonus worth £963,000 ($1.53m). Perhaps confusing the man responsible for the failure of RBS with the one hired to fix it, politicians and one newspaper assailed Mr Hester's "reward for failure". Within days he turned down the bonus.
If stripping one failed banker of his knighthood and hounding another who is making a decent fist of a difficult job looks like a witch-hunt, that's because it is. Galling as it may be to imagine Mr Goodwin insisting on being called Sir Fred at his local corner shop, or offering his hand to be kissed at the bus stop, no power flowed from his title. Shame is an important sanction when well-paid people screw up, but Mr Goodwin's reputation was already in the gutter following the bank's failure and a nasty public row over his pension. Knighthood or not, he was not about to walk back into public life.
True, Mr Goodwin had a cocksure management style that made him the dominant figure at RBS when it fatally decided to lead a consortium bidding to acquire ABN AMRO, a Dutch bank. But if he was really that out of control then why not go the whole hog and strip Sir Tom McKillop, the RBS chairman and Mr Goodwin's boss at the time, of his knighthood, too? And poor decision-making was hardly confined to RBS. The battle for ABN began when Barclays said it would merge with the lender: if ABN had not sunk one British bank, it would have torpedoed another.
More worrying than the government's crude populism is the harm it may have done RBS by interfering in its governance and effectively repudiating its legal contracts. Mr Hester's £1.2 million annual salary may seem outrageous to a voting public that anticipates years of austerity. Yet even if he had not waived his bonus, his pay would still be quite modest when set against the sums he was being paid in his previous job as boss of a large property company, or against those earned by bosses of other large British firms—who earned an average of £3.9m last year. The sum also looks modest when compared with the earnings of chief executives of other large banks. The head of Deutsche Bank, Germany's biggest, was paid almost €9m (£7.7m) in 2010, according to the latest figures. JPMorgan, America's biggest bank, paid its top executive $21m that year.
Nor can Mr Hester be accused of doing a bad job or lacking the skills to do it well. He is probably uniquely qualified to wind down the investment bank at RBS after his success almost a decade ago in safely defusing the explosive capital-markets business of Abbey National, a former building society turned wholesale bank.
There are important debates to be held about the governance of banks and bankers' pay. Reforming both requires a sober assessment of mind-numbing questions such as whether banks are safer if their employees are rewarded with deferred shares or convertible bonds. Turning the likes of Mr Goodwin into pantomime villains may satisfy a public lust for blood. But it is also a distraction from the task of trying to prevent the next crisis.

Latest Developments on Bomb Attack in India, Failed Attack in Thailand
New developments have been reported in the wake of the bomb attacks on Israeli diplomatic targets in India and Georgia yesterday.
The occupant of the car that exploded in India has been identified as Tal Yehoshua-Koren, wife of Israel's defense attache in India. According to reports, Yehoshua-Koren suffered serious spinal injuries and was operated on this morning. She is reported to be in stable condition.
Speaking from her hospital bed, Yehoshua-Koren said that she remembers "seeing the motorcyclist who apparently threw something in the direction of the car."
Indian Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said Tuesday, "Investigations are on…it appears that a motorcycle rider, a single person, came from behind. We think the explosion took place within 4-5 seconds of the device being attached."
"We think it's likely that a very well-trained person planted the device," he added. "We think the target was the Israeli diplomat's wife and therefore we have to assume this was a terror attack."
Indian officials are viewing the attack as a serious security failure, especially in light of its close proximity to the Indian Prime Minister's residence.
In Israel, police have increased security at public places, foreign embassies, and Ben-Gurion International Airport. Foreign Ministry officials stated that intelligence and evidence gathered at the blast scene – and at the scene of the thwarted bomb attack on an Israeli diplomat in Georgia – indicate that Iran masterminded the attacks.
Unsurprisingly, Iran has denied any involvement in Monday's attacks, with Iran's ambassador to India dismissing Israeli accusations as "nothing but lies."
In other news, an Iranian man blew off his legs Tuesday in a failed bomb attack in Bangkok.
According to the English-language The Bangkok Post, an Iranian man began the attack by flinging a bomb towards a taxi whose driver refused to accept him as a passenger.
Thai government spokeswoman Thitima Chaisaeng said that police thereafter tried to move in and arrest the man, but not before he attempted to hurl another bomb. The bomb reportedly bounced back in his direction as it detonated, blowing off both his legs. Four other were wounded in the blasts.
Chaisaeng told reporters that these blasts came shortly after there had been an explosion in a house the same man was renting.
"The police have control of the situation. It is thought that the suspect might be storing more explosives inside his house," Thitima said. She noted that according to an initial police report, the man was an Iranian national.

Title: | Key to the terrestrial slugs (Gastropoda) of Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada |
Author(s): | Chichester, Lyle F.; Getz, Lowell L. |
Subject(s): | Terrestrial Slugs
Northeastern US Taxonomic Key Introduced slugs |
Abstract: | Three species of terrestrial slugs (Gastropoda) are native to Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada. At least twelve additional species have been accidentally introduced from Europe. Many of the introduced species are now widespread throughout the region; some are commonly found in natural forested habitats. Because of the complexity of the systematics of some of the introduced species, dissection of internal anatomical structures and DNA and other biochemical analyses may be required to distinguish cryptic species. Although this key to the terrestrial slugs of the Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada was developed in 1973, it remains the best tool in identifying the terrestrial slug species of the region. Because it was published in a relatively obscure journal that is not readily available, we are placing it on this web site where it can be readily accessed. |

Sure... Watt can wait, but when they're talking about $20+ million signing bonuses & $50~60 million guaranteed.
We dangle that money in front of him now & he has to decide if he wants to take it, or "wait" 3 years & who knows what will happen in 3 years.
If we wait, then franchise him, then offer him "peanuts" then he's only got to weigh a 1 year wait.
If you sign Watt to extension after 2014 & then contract him again after that he will cost a whole lot more than optioning 2015 & the tagging for two additional years & then deciding to contract him.

Headrest Printer Mounts - LEM Solutions LEM Solutions has solved the "where do you put it" question with its patented...
The MSP's braking distance tests used optical sensors mounted to the sides of the cars that measure stopping from 60-0 mph.
Ford's Interceptors will arrive with police-specific brakes offering rotors with more surface area and a larger pad than the Crown Vic. The new Ford has an 18-inch wheel compared with the Crown Vic's 17-inch wheel.
VIDEO: Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor
Ford's all-wheel-drive P.I. (non-turbo) needed 126.6 feet to reach a dead stop from 60 mph, an improvement of 15 feet over the Crown Vic. The Chevy Caprice was nearly its equal, stopping in 128.3 feet, 11.5 feet shorter than the Chevy Impala. The 5.7-liter Dodge Charger shaved 10 feet from the 2010 model, needing 133.9 feet to stop.
It is not unusual for manufacturers to make modifications of their new police vehicles after the MSP testing in preparation for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department vehicle testing in November. This year, for example, Chrysler decided to change the axle ratio on the Charger Pursuit for the LASD test. David Callery, police and emergency response vehicle program manager for Chrysler, says the alteration does not mean the company was unhappy with the Charger's score at the MSP test.
"Overall we were very pleased," says Callery, who is a retired New York state trooper who once managed the agency's massive vehicle fleet. He explained that the reason the company was testing a different axle ratio at the LASD evaluation was to see if it will give the Charger more midrange acceleration, what troopers call "closing speed."

Is this Neglect or really a northern USA thing?

My friend just picked up their daughter from an 8 day visitation with the non-custodial after she said how happy she was to be home she asked if she could take a bath because she stinks and didn't take a bath all week. She is 4 and really did stink to high heaven. Non custodial says that due to winters up north they don't bathe as often.
Needless to say she was fed, bathed and is out riding her bike at the park.

Combining Birch and Bubinga is one of Tama's signature sound recipes, so now that magic combination gets a representative in the Sound Lab Project snare line. Baring a beautiful exterior ply of naturally finished white oak, the S.L.P. Backbeat makes a stunning centerpiece. But, the drum's best qualities stem from the Bubinga Birch blend inside. Marrying the rich, dark tonality of three interior Bubinga plies with the cracking projection of four Birch out plies, this snare matches remarkable sensitivity with profound depth as greater striking pressure is applied.
Suggested musical styles: Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Progressive Rock & R&B

One of the four men wanted in an armed home invasion is now in jail, according to the Spartanburg County Detention Center website.
The website shows Ronald Harris was arrested Monday night.
Harris is charged with first-degree burglary, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, according to the website.
The charges stem from a home invasion on Edwards Road on Saturday evening.
The resident at the home told investigators that four men kicked in his front door, held a gun in his face and demanded money. The incident report also says the home invaders told the resident to pack up his stuff and leave.
The resident refused, and said the home invaders left in a white GMC Yukon that belonged to the resident's ex-girlfriend. The tag number is JET-808.
Investigators later identified one of the men as Harris.
The three other suspects are still at-large. If you know anything about this crime, call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

The country's biggest car makers, Maruti Suzuki India (MSI), Hyundai Motor India and Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd (M&M), today cut prices after excise duty on automobiles was reduced in the Interim Budget by Finance Minister P. Chidambaram.
While Maruti Suzuki India's price cuts range between Rs 8,502 and Rs 30,984 across its models, Hyundai has slashed prices by between Rs 10,000 and Rs 1,35,300.
The entire benefit of the excise duty cut is being passed on to customers for the full range of models, MSI said in a statement.
Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) also said customers would get the full benefit of the excise duty reduction. The price cut applied to all the models, from Eon to Santa Fe.
"The reduction in excise duty would substantially reduce the prices, making cars more affordable. The quantum of benefit will vary from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,35,300 across all the models," HMIL Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Rakesh Srivastava said.
Mahindra & Mahindra cut prices of its passenger vehicle portfolio ranging from Rs 13,000 to Rs 49,000. The company will also reduce prices of its premium SUV, the Rexton by up to Rs 92,000. The reduction is effective immediately, M&M said in a statement.
Commenting on the price reduction, Pravin Shah, Chief Executive, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, said, We are confident that the reduction in prices by Mahindra as well as other auto companies would provide the much needed fillip to the auto industry.
On February 17, Chidambaram cut excise duty to 8 per cent from 12 per cent for small cars, scooters, motorcycles and commercial vehicles; 24 per cent from 30 per cent for SUVs; 20 per cent for mid-sized cars from 24 per cent and 24 per cent for large cars from 27 per cent.

Live blog: Bucks at Boston Celtics
6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15
Plenty of Christmas spirit at TD Garden tonight as the Bucks meet the Celtics for the fourth and final time this season. We're back with the live blog after missing Wednesday's game due to early deadlines thanks to the snowstorm. Paul Pierce had 40 for Boston in its victory Wednesday and gets a big ovation during the lineup introductions.
Sanders gets second foul on a charge and is replaced by Ekpe Udoh. Sanders battling foul trouble in recent games. Jeff Green and Courtney Lee score as Celtics bench injects some life. Celtics go on a 10-0 run and Rondo nudges Jennings as he calls a timeout. Not a friendly nudge.
Dunleavy hits a two and a three to bring Bucks within 70-67. A turnover gives Boston an easy layup by Lee. But Mbah a Moute scores inside (18 points) and Sanders scores off a Jennings assist. Bucks have a chance to take the lead but get a 24-second violation. Celtics, 72, Bucks 71.

American Buffalo: The Patriot Act at A.C.T.By Melissa Broderby SFS Staff on Mar 02, 2003Inspired by confessional neurotics such as Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol and Woody Allen, the postmodern arts have come to resemble private diary entries; yet the finest playwright is still able to transform a personal notion into a universal theme. David Mamet's American Buffalo, which premiered in Chicago in 1975, exceeds the barriers of class, location and time, presenting audiences with a suspicious analysis of the American dream. In the vein of his predecessor Edward Albee, Mamet chooses depth over quantity when creating his characters. Buffalo's plot centers around a day in the life of three men at a junk shop, who plan a robbery in order to make a good old American buck. The buffalo-head nickel, which inspires the robbery, serves as a metaphor for the cutthroat nature of our capitalist structure. Clearly, Mamet's characters value a financial end over an ethical means of achievement, creating a striking parallel to the recent Enron and WorldCom scandals. "Businessmen left [American Buffalo] muttering vehemently about its inadequacies and pointlessness," said Mamet, one year after the show opened on Broadway in 1977. "But they weren't really mad because the play was pointless-they were angry because the play was about them." Two decades later, San Francisco's A.C.T. theatre presents a well-casted, socially relevant performance of American Buffalo. Director Richard E.T. White creates a close juxtaposition between humor and intensity, such that the audience often doesn't know whether to laugh or gasp. Chicago native Matt DeCaro serves as the anchor of the play in his role as junk shop owner Don Dubrow. On a physical level, Decaro's Don possesses a plump, balding quality that is undeniably a caricature of a middle-age American. In terms of character development, Decaro recognizes the importance of emotional complexity in captivating the attention of an audience. Don is shrewd, morally-relative, and often violent, yet he simultaneously exhibits a paternal quality. This multiplicity is especially important for Decaro's Don, because he serves as the voice of the play's themes. "'Cause there's business and there's friendship Bobby," says Don to his young apprentice. "Things are not always what they seem to be…There's lotsa people on this street, Bob, they want this and they want that. Do anything to get it. You don't have friends this life." The character of Bobby, played by recent A.C.T. graduate Damon Seawell, is clearly symbolic of a nascent American dream: innocent, hopeful, and subject to corruption. Like DeCaro, Seawell is physically well-casted, exhibiting the youth and naiveté inherent to his character. Further, Seawell recognizes his role as a foil, or mirror, to the other characters, and he does not upstage his castmates. Yet Seawell's Bobby possesses an emotional temperament that remains stock throughout the play. Rather than evoking sadness, Seawell's shaky physicality and stuttering verbal temperament exist as constants, creating distraction and discomfort. Such feelings are catalyzed by a plethora of fake blood toward the end of the play. While Director White may intend to create discomfort in the audience, one is left to focus on the abundance of blood, rather than on the climax and denouement of the plot. Aside from the misuse of synthetic secretions, scenic designer Ken Dorsey's props and set are aesthetically intelligent. Some of the credit may be given to Mamet, who intentionally carries out the play in the characters' place of work. The junk shop setting conveys that life in America cannot be separated from financial enterprise. Further, the friendly gestures that occur between the men dwell strictly in the realm of commercial endeavors: the purchase of a cup of coffee, breakfast, or the buffalo-head nickel. Dorsey brings these notions into the set, such that each piece of furniture used by the characters is an item that Don is attempting to sell. From the sofa to the desk, the characters' daily lives are clearly inseparable from commerce. Further, the sound-effects that designate the passing of time are all similarly industrialized, such as a car engine or police siren. The real tragedy of Buffalo is conveyed by the character Teach, and his inability to change. Teach, played by A.C.T. core Acting Company member Marco Barricelli, depicts both a polarity of thought and a continued reliance on muscle that are each evident within American culture. Barricelli is clearly a seasoned talent, with a knack for exuding simultaneous humor, violence, and tragedy. Like American pop culture, Teach possesses a sensational quality; yet his character is especially relevant in light of our country's current political situation. In the White House, we have George W. Bush, and his steadfast devotion to war with Iraq; Onstage, we have Teach, who "buffalows" his way through life in pursuit of money. The motives of the two men-one fictional, one real-possess a striking similarity, maintaining Buffalo's significance as a cultural compass. American Buffalo runs through February 9th at The American Conservatory Theatre. Tickets are available for Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday evening performances ($15 - $49) and Friday and Saturday matinee and evening performances ($19 - $61). To purchase tickets, contact the Box Office at: 415.749.2228. A.C.T. is located on 415 Geary Street @ Mason, in San Francisco.

One of the interesting little underground hockey debates revolves around blocking shots.
Any reasonable person will admit it's a brave act, but the schism happens when you discuss the wisdom of doing so. The New York Times tackled the subject in an interesting way on Monday, studying the undeniable increase in the activity since the lockout while spotlighting heavy practitioners and the teams who generally abstain from the courageous move.
Many stats bloggers will say that a blocked shot is often the sign of a last-resort move by a defenseman who's out of position.
Interestingly enough, The NYT's Dave Caldwell spotlighted the three local teams and saw a wide variety of results. The lowly Islanders topped the NHL in the category and look primed to fall in first place again this season, but the East-leading Rangers swear by it too. Meanwhile, the traditionally stout Devils defense follows Paul Coffey's lead in avoiding the practice.
Crunching simple numbers on the subject
To take a quick-and-dirty look at the potential big picture view, here are the top five teams as far as shot blocking, their place in the standings, total goals allowed and times shorthanded:
1. NY Islanders: 955 blocked shots, 55 points (tied for second to last in East), 159 goals allowed and 158 times shorthanded
2. Montreal: 942 blocked shots, 55 points (tied for second to last in East), 154 goals allowed and 214 times shorthanded
3. Toronto: 912 blocked shots, 62 points (eighth place in East), 166 goals allowed and 178 times shorthanded
4. NY Rangers: 907 blocked shots, 77 points (first in East, second overall), 110 goals allowed and 178 times shorthanded
5. Minnesota: 904 blocked shots, 58 points (12th place in West), 144 goals allowed and 193 times shorthanded
To take a look at the flip side, here are the five teams who block shots the least in the same categories:
26. Boston: 694 blocked shots, 70 points for second in the East, 120 goals allowed and 188 times shorthanded
27. Los Angeles: 691 blocked shots, 65 points tied for sixth in West, 124 goals allowed and 210 times shorthanded
28. Columbus: 661 blocked shots, 38 points for worst record in NHL, 185 goals allowed and 185 times shorthanded
29. Vancouver: 652 blocked shots, 74 points for second in the West, 138 goals allowed and 208 times shorthanded
30. New Jersey: 638 blocked shots, 66 points for sixth in the East, 155 goals allowed and 190 times shorthanded
I'm not sure if you can deduce much of anything from that little study, although it does seem to provide good evidence that you can play stingy defense without blocking shots. The low shot-blocking side seems a little heavier on "legitimate" contenders … but it also includes the horrific Blue Jackets. (Click here to check out NHL.com's stats on shot blocking.)
How do you feel, though? Is the strategy a necessary evil to avoid goals or a bad gamble in terms of positioning and/or injuries? Share your take in the comments.
- zabala81 - Feb 14, 2012 at 8:46 AM
So, it's better not to shot block as it does not help in the standings but increases incidence of injury
- miketoasty - Feb 14, 2012 at 9:03 AM
Columbus is 28th in shot blocking and 30th in the league. I think it's important but obviously is not the only thing that wins games.
- abrienza428 - Feb 14, 2012 at 9:09 AM
The "bad" teams are getting more shots thrown their way due to lackluster defense, so by common sense they'll have more blocked shots in the long run. Good teams play better defensively and don't allow as many shots towards the net in the first place.
And Columbus is just so bad they can't block the shots.
- rwmilli - Feb 14, 2012 at 9:03 AM
Yeah but without a comparison there's no legitimate argument, maybe if
You could show me stats of these teams
W/O any shot blocks we could see how many of those that were blocked would of went in…I don't think it's ever going to die and I don't think it has anything to do with a defensemen being out of position…if he gets infront of the shot what better position could he of been in? It's not like guys come flying out of nowhere like theyre taking a bullet for the pres or something…it's a practiced technique you learn it in junior hockey, a defenders job is to keep the puck out of the net..he will do it at all costs
- dsd3 - Feb 14, 2012 at 12:31 PM
What if you used these numbers with an adjustment for how many shots these teams are facing? Numbers alone don't tell much of a story, but maybe a % would tell us more. (I'm too lazy to compute the numbers for all the teams, though it wouldn't be that tough)
- brian32556 - Feb 14, 2012 at 2:31 PM
The stats above obviously show that shot-blocking has no corelation to success. As I follow the Rangers, and they are seemingly outshot every night (shots that get to the goaltender), it would just mean the King would have to deal with more, which might lead to more rebounds, and possibly more inclose attempts. Instead shot blocking keeps the puck outside.
In the case or NYR, I disagree with the view that it is "often the sign of a last-resort move by a defenseman who's out of position." It is a defensive tactic that some teams use and others do not. Same as the trap, two-man forechecking, etc.
Maybe for the less successful teams it is an act of desperation vs. designed into the scheme.

i never went to any art schools. i have nothing to make a portfolio from. so i thought..."maybe i'll go to art courses in the college in my city?!" and so i had a plan until i went to a forum of art school students and saw a lot of them use special preparation schools to make portfolios. -whimper- now a special fancy shmancy school in another city that costs a lot that prepares especially for making portfolio and succeeding entrance exams.... or 2-3 courses right here that "won't show the the true talent they look for because your works will be homework given to you instead something you made yourself" (-not said directly about my choice but said generally about anything VS special school) -flips table again- god dammit! why can't i have anything that prepared me before that like art school or something?! (oh right...because i never planned going to graphic design in the first place!) TS discuss envy of others and careers |
I studied art before I went to uni. It was only the basics though and I also had to study several normal subjects. It was fun, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to get a nice job afterwards. I'm a bit envious of my brother that's able to get one after his education. He will then have the same degree I have, but he'll be able to get a job since the education he gets will prepare him for it, unlike mine.
But at the same time I don't mind since the education I'm getting now will probably make me earn bit more than he ever will in the long run. But at the same time I'll have a student loan to pay off, which he won't have to worry about. |
what did he study? and why yours will pay more? xD also-with so many people complaining about the student loan i'm so glad i save money for school |
He studies electricity. It's his first year.
Mine will probably pay more since, well, it just will. Some jobs pay more than others. I mean, I could say it's because he'll only go to college and I to university(those are two different things here), but it isn't. It's only because they are different jobs, to be honest. I wish I could, but I wouldn't be able to live off my part time job and the usual amount you get for free for school. That would only be ~5-6k a month and I need at least 8k to get by. I don't mind having to pay back the loan though as long as I get a job I like. |
xxx "Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels;" I wanted to do graphic design for a while... Then I figured that I wouldn't care enough about my job to stand being told what to make for the rest of my life. o 3o I value my creativity, which isn't always what employers want from you. There are some out there though that like it. But most of them are all 'IWANTHISCOLORANDTHISTOSAYTHISANDTHISIMAGETHINGONITANDGO.' I'm more able to deal with the people who are all 'okay, so, just include the name somewhere, and we'll be good with whatever'. Though. I'm getting an art degree that I'll probably use like... once? Maybe? The job I want to get doesn't really require an art degree. Nor the lovely theater minor I have to go with it. |D I can apply at... theaters. Doing art stuff. With this degree. Possibly. Hurdur. "Only when the clock stops does time come to life. " |
kiwi-i had the chance to study electrical engineering in the army...but i was a wuss and "ran away" (bothered the army until they released me) well at least you do something you like! i may be earning enough to save up fast (approximately 5k a month) but i hate my job at least i can study later without having to work! dawn-and what job exactly do you want? |
The army feels so far away here. It's rare to hear about someone that's in the army.
Yeah, but it's still only my first year. I hope the courses that come later will be as interesting as these ones, or else I'll probably start looking for some kind of week day work and find somewhere else to live. What do you work with? I kept my old job when I moved here to study. Luckily it's a weekend night job, so I don't have to worry about school. |
and here you'd have a hard time not seeing at least 1 soldier on the street xD i don't "work with" i work at. a factory. 12 hours a day. 5 days a week and half a day on the 6th. basically i get a lot of money because i work a lot |
You saw them from time to time back in my old town. They were all handsome and young.
In the last 20-10 years they've closed down lots of "bases" here. We don't really get involved in military stuff anyway, so it's not really needed, so they've made lots of cutbacks. That really sounds like a pain. At least you get lots of money then. If I could I'd get a night job at week days. You get more money then than if you'd work days.

I sometimes envy art students. My boyfriend and his friends are graphics design majors and they have to take art classes. My boyfriend's hw consisted of drawing. I wish I could draw instead of making powerpoints and posters and cramming for tests every week.
Sometimes, I wonder if I got into the wrong major, lols. |

Got my Avy Gear. So how'd I do?
Avy Gear = ✓
So I did a little research and this is what I put together on a budget. I want the Black Diamond Outlaw Avalung pack, but prob next season. Using my trusty old Dakine Heli Pack for now. Works ok since I've got the water bladder, and it's pretty low-profile with just enough room for the avy gear + an extra pair of gloves and goggles and a few other small items. BCA Tracker 2 beacon BCA Traverse EXT shovel BCA SR3 300cm probe So what do you think...did I do alright? http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...s/8a003a9c.jpg |
Nice! i have the same probe and it hasn't failed me yet (3 seasons of practise use). Glad to see you didnt go with one of the more budget probes as ive seen some people do! You will be happy you went with the long handled shovel aswell.
For anyone that's shopping: Evo and Backcountry have most of their avy gear on sale for 20% off right now.
Def wanted a metal shovel. Also avoided ones with a huge blade, which wouldn't fit in my pack. Wanted the extendable handle to be easier on my back and give more digging power and positions. I do prefer the ones like this with an ovalized or rectangular handle for faster deployment and strength. Quick question: when you store the shovel in your pack, do you separate the handle from the blade? The difference b/w a budget 200cm probe and this one was like $15, so pretty negligible. Figured longer the better, esp since I'll be checking out the slackcountry in CO and UT this year too. I'm not worried about a few grams, so wasn't sure if going up another level to carbon was worth it though. |
BCA Tracker 2 beacon :thumbsup:
the trackers are some of the easiest to use and navigate with.. i'll never get anything different. |
Good setup! I wanted a Tracker 2 back in '08, it was on the MEC website and I ordered it, but they never did get it in until late last season... I ended up with a Pieps DSP.
read this for a laugh... http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bac...-2-beacon.html My son wants to do the dive next season, so I'll probably pick up either the Ortovox 3+, the Tracker 2 or the Arva 3 Axes for him. |
I separate my shovel blade from the handle when I pack it. I also use the Dakine Heli Pro and that's the only way my shovel fits.
Might want to consider a different shovel, the BCA one is prone to breaking where the handle meets the shovel.
Backcountry Access Traverse EXT Shovel - Mountain Equipment Co-op. Free Shipping Available |
The Black Diamond Transfer 3 is prob what I'd get if this one ends up failing.

19.03.2012 - German open-ended real estate funds: the gap is widening |
While German open-ended real estate funds as a whole returned 0.1% in February, returns on funds with a global focus dropped to -0.4%. This drop was mainly caused by weak returns from those funds which are in liquidation. These results are taken from the recently published OFIX-monthly report for February 2012 by IPD Investment Property Databank GmbH. Poorly performing funds pull down the index: The gap between the good and poor-performing funds is widening, says Sebastian Gläsner, Head of Fund Services at IPD in Germany...............................................Full Article: Source |

Along with official casting announcements, Walt Disney Studios has provided us with hi-res images (billed as 'character poses') along with official character descriptions for the cast of DisneyToon's Planes, taking off in theaters on August 9, 2013.
Inspired by the world of Cars from Pixar Animation Studios, Disney's Planes is an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty's not exactly built for racing — and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty's courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar.

Lee case trimmers do work. Tney are simple,but like anything else( any other brand of trimmer), you have to use it properly. If you try to tighten the case holder while the case bottom isn't resting on the holder flat and square, you won't get it tight enough. I've done a few thousand .223 with my lee trimmer. I've noticed I have more trouble when I have been trimming for a long period and get tired. When that happens, just stop and come back to it later.

I'm seriously considering the RCBS pro Trimmer 2 along with 3 way Cutter in 223 since I'd like to load a few hundred/ month. Midway has a sale and rebate on rcbs stuff. Still, that's between $250 and $300. Ouch.
Ok. An hour ago a friend dropped off a Lyman universal trimmer, which is probably about 10 or more years old. There are no extra parts; I assume it will trim one caliber just looking at it. It looks rough but it works. Thoughts? John Last edited by jproaster; September 27, 2012 at 03:12 PM. Reason: Product brought to my attention. |

I use the Dillon Rt-1200 in my Hornady LnL AP Progressive with case feeder.
I tried using the RCBS Lube Die but switched to using the Dillon spray lube. I spray roughly 200 cases at a time while they are laid out on a cookie sheet. 1500/hr is easy to achieve. |

I have a Lyman universal trimmer, IMO takes to long to make adjustments from cartridge to cartridge. If you only trim one size case it's ok. I wouldn't want to do a lot wo a power adapter.

I use a makeshift lathe with a drill motor i used in the past for pool cue repairs... It works amazingly with the WFT Trimmer by Little Crow Gunworks, Its $70 shipped, that little tool is scarily accurate!!! After that I use a Hornady handheld deburrer/chamferer and the swage the primer pockets of the crimled military brass with the Dillon Super Swage 600. Typically, the WFT claims to deburr the shell, but I still like the finish the hornady tool puts on it, so I add the addional step to the process. It sounds like alot of work but it flows very well, I like to trim 100 pieces and then switch to deburr/chamfer and then to swage, this keeps my thumb and index finger from developing blisters from the trimming. I can complete 1000 rounds in around 5-6 hours, maybe less but i choose to just always have brass ready for each stage of the preparation phase and after a few weeks or so, I have several tbousand rounds ready for reloading through my Dillon 550B which I can make around 500 rounds per hour without rushing the process.
I hope this helps and if there is anything else you think i might be able to help you with, dont hesitate to ask eithrr here or via PM... Thank You. DASHZNT |

I added a small O ring to my Lee case holder for trimming and it keeps the holder from loosening up. I also had bought the Lee case holder for the zip trimmer and put it in a coedless drill and it works well also, its a toss up as to which works better since they both work well for me now.

The Mod is realy AWESOME ! BUT how can i play without antialiasing ? For more FPS ;}
It runs on my 1070 patched GTA4. I have changed the settings regarding the brightness. Lowered the sunintensity and rised the color a bit.
But I have two problems: at night, the sky seems to become red. Especialy to the horizon and somtimes at daylight I have the red sky bug but only when I look in a specific angle (almost 10°) direct to the east or the west. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?

Both Sculpt & Shape and Moisturelush launches are available for purchase on www.maccosmetics.com, as well as in-stores (and good luck to those who brave the post-Christmas shoppers!).
mac sculpt and shape collection
Let me preface this review saying that I have not seen or played with the actual Sculpt & Shape collection due out the 26th. All of the sculpting and shaping powders have been available at PRO stores for a few months now, but they come separately either in pot or pan form, and they are the size of blushes.
OVERALL, the duos are a great opportunity to try out the sculpt and shape line without paying the price of individual pots. I feel confident in saying that I highly doubt I will ever hit pan on any of the full-size pans, except perhaps Sculpt, which is what I personally use to contour (which I do regularly). Nonetheless, you can also pick up a few of these, rather than trying to find one that matches your complexion. When going to check these out or order them, realize that they aren't all about contouring or shaping the face. It is about highlighting the face, body, eyes, nose… these are multi-purpose tools to give the skin a sense of glow, sophistication, and enhance natural features. These are perfect for the upcoming spring season, which is embracing nudes, neutrals, and the natural look.
Check out product photos, and detailed reviews of the different shades included in this launch. Continue reading →
Sculpt & Shape | December 26, 2007
Sculpt and Shape Powder is a split-pan, two-in-one powder with the perfect level of pigment for creating a naturally sculpted look. The deeper shade is matte, making it perfect for contouring the face and body. The lighter shade has low-level pearlized pigments, making it ideal for highlighting the high planes of the face. This non-acnegenic formula has jet-milled pigments to allow for smooth, even, silky application. Sculpt and Shape Powder contains skin conditioning agents like Wheat and Barley Extracts and is dermatologist- and ophthalomologist-tested.
Sculpt & Shape Duos
- Bone Beige/Emphasize Palest cream/Tan
- Accentuate/Sculpt Pale blushed beige/Soft taupe brown
- Lightsweep/Shadester Soft peachy beige/Mid-tone leathery brown
- Warm Light/Definitive Clean peach/Mid-tone reddish brown

I'm really feeling these glossy painted lampshades. It's something a little different and feels fresh even though it's totally old-school. I hardly ever see these rigid cardboard type lampshades out there, so I must keep my eye out for them at flea markets and thrift shops. Maybe I can paint some in some fun colours for spring!
4 Comments »
I really like this look, too! Will be on the lookout next month at the Brimsfield market in Mass!
I love this look, too! I will be on the lookout for some of these vintage shades next month at the Brimfield market in Massachusetts!
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to be on the look-out for them too! I guess they'd need to be sturdy cardboard, rather than paper for that kind of painting, right?

September 2005 Articles & Features
adjust text size:
Trouble Shooter
By Karl Seyfert | September 2005
NOx was the last addition to the list of monitored exhaust gases. Misconceptions regarding the conditions that promote its formation still exist.
I am working on a 1995 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0L engine that has failed to pass a smog test due to high NOX. The engine has an aftermarket header and a Flowmaster exhaust system, which were installed by the previous owner. The tires also are larger than stock. It has no EGR valve and the timing is not adjustable. The vehicle is originally from Canada, but it has a BAR sticker on it, indicating it has met the emissions requirements for our state.
I tried running water through the intake to clean the carbon out of the cylinders. I also installed a NOX-reducing cat. After these changes, it barely passed the 15-mph emissions test and still failed the 25-mph test for NOX.
The exhaust readings at cruise are as follows: CO, .01%; HC, 12 ppm; CO2, 15.0%; NOX, 917 ppm.
I'm thinking about restricting the exhaust because the system that's on the vehicle has very low backpressure. The customer has no driveability complaints and there are no diagnostic trouble codes stored in memory. Finally, I was told by another shop about an article in Motor concerning a Jeep with too much NOX. I think the fix was to enlarge the Hall effect generator inside the distributor, but I haven't been able to find the article.
Dan McAuliff
San Jose, CA
First off, Dan, I believe the article you're referring to is actually three Driveability Corner columns written by Mark Warren. The first appeared in the April 2003 issue, and was followed by February and April of 2004. While the columns did deal with a driveability problem on a Jeep 4.0L, the problem was entirely different from what your customer is experiencing.
Second, a lack of backpressure caused by the aftermarket exhaust system should not cause an increase in NOX, at least not on a vehicle that's capable of adjusting its own air/fuel ratio. Let's consider the things that can cause NOX to increase to an abnormally high level. Oxides of nitrogen (NOX) are formed when the combustion chamber temperature exceeds 2500°F (the ignition point for compressed nitrogen). The engine must normally be under some kind of load before it develops such high combustion chamber temperatures.
Many emissions systems rely on an EGR valve to lower combustion chamber temperatures. Adding a small amount of inert exhaust gas when the engine is under load lowers the temperature in the combustion chambers just enough to reduce the formation of NOX. I've always thought this method was similar to feeding manure to a horse. Automotive engineers must agree because many vehicles now manage to control NOX without the help of an EGR valve. The Jeep you're working on is one such vehicle.
But everything else must be working properly if the EGR valve crutch is removed. As you correctly surmised, combustion chamber deposits can artificially raise the compression ratio and encourage the formation of NOX. Overadvanced ignition timing can also cause NOX formation. Since the Jeep does not have an externally adjustable ignition system, we should be able to rule it out as a possible cause in this case. Jury-rigging the ignition in an attempt to retard the timing is not an acceptable solution.
Check with the owner to make sure the PCM hasn't been "chipped" or modified in some other way. One quick and dirty way to increase engine performance is to change the spark advance curve. This used to be accomplished by changing the advance springs in the distributor. Now it's done by changing the PCM's timing decisions. Too much advance at the wrong time, caused by an aftermarket chip modification, could be responsible for the excessive NOX problem.
A lean air/fuel mixture can also encourage NOX formation. The lean mixture can be caused by insufficient fuel pressure or volume, or the engine management system may actually be commanding the mixture lean. This could occur if the PCM is receiving bogus information from an oxygen sensor that has a lazy response rate or has become biased rich. Your emissions readings didn't include an O2 reading, which would have been helpful in determining whether the engine is running rich or lean under load.
Be sure to consult Sam Bell's article on lambda in this issue ("What Goes In..."). The lambda calculation is a great way to determine whether an engine is running rich or lean, without having to concern yourself with other influences.
Last of all, an engine that's running hotter than normal will encourage NOX formation. A faulty thermostat or a clogged cooling system could be keeping the Jeep's operating temperature just shy of overheating. Adding a load pushes the combustion chamber temperature to the point where NOX formation increases to an unhealthy level. The engine should be producing almost no NOX at idle. If the NOX reading is high at idle, run through the NOX-influencing factors I've listed until you find the cause.

Apple device manufacturer Foxconn announces industrial robot programme
One million devices to take over from humans in wake of worker suicides
By Michael Kan | IDG News Service | Published 11:03, 01 August 11
Foxconn, the maker of Apple's iPhone and iPad, plans to rely more on robots for manufacturing over the coming years, allowing the company to invest more in research and development and save on labour costs.
Foxconn CEO Terry Gou made the remarks in a speech at the company's campus in Shenzhen, China. But while Foxconn confirmed some of the contents of the speech, the company declined to offer specifics on the level of automation Foxconn plans to deploy.
State news agency Xinhua, however, reported that Gou had said the company plans on deploying a million robots over the next three years to complete routine assembly tasks. Foxconn currently uses 10,000 robots.
Foxconn needs to automate more of its manufacturing processes in order to make up for labour shortages and stay ahead of its competitors, said Amy Teng, an analyst with research firm Gartner. The Taiwanese company has more than one million employees, the majority of which are located at facilities in mainland China.
Foxconn is one of the world's largest producers of electronics. Aside from Apple, the company also manufactures products for companies like HP, Sony and Nintendo.
The company has seen its reputation suffer following a string of suicides that began occurring at Foxconn's factories in China. Last year, there were a total of 18 suicide attempts, with 14 deaths, according to watchdog group Students & Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior. Nearly all the deaths were from the workers jumping off from company buildings.
Poor working conditions and long hours at Foxconn's factories have been blamed for the suicides, prompting Apple last year to send its COO Tim Cook to investigate the incidents. Foxconn has made changes by creating a 24 hour support hotline for workers, while also installing nets at the company's buildings. Foxconn has previously said it allows only for a 60 hour work week that includes overtime, and pays the highest wages in the industry.
Gou told employees that he wanted to move the company's workers "higher up the value chain, beyond basic manufacturing work," according to the company statement. By using increased automation, Foxconn will be able to improve the overall working environment and create more sophisticated products.

My wife was recently diagnosed with TMJ after 6 months of trial and error by several doctors and dentists. Her main dentist has been prescribing her pain medicine for most of the 6 months. After he did everything he could for her teeth including 3 root canals, an extraction and a bone graft, he referred her to an oral surgeon who removed 4 impacted wisdom teeth.
We got medicine from this Doc in a small shady cash pharmacy since we were 3 hours away from home. She was still having pain and now her dentist thinks she is after pills and was lying about pain since he can't seem to fix her.
We found a GOOD physician who was an ENT and recognized her symptoms to be TMJ just by cracking her jaw with his hand. So we are on the 3 doctor and he gives her a script which we filled at a 24 hour pharmacy because our regular was closed and tells her to see a dentist again... After all these doctors including the handful of trips to the ER afterhours because of pain and scripts at different pharmacies I am worried she has been labeled or marked as a pill seeker.
She is in no way a drug abuser and always takes the medicine as directed. We are talking about someone who went through 3 child births with no epiderals, spinals and took 600mg motrin after she was sliced from hip to hip...
It seems like the more she went to different doctors and pharmacies "which was out of our control" the more doctors have been avoiding giving her narcotics. They used to give it out like candy and now they give everything but... If she has been flagged, is there anyway to remove it?
It's making things much harder for our personal lives and our business. She had to go through the withdrawl symptoms once already and detoxed on her own, it was a nightmare and took weeks after her first dentist just cut her off cold turkey after she had been taking 7.5 hydrocodone everyday for the last 6 months. She wouldn't be taking this stuff if she wasn't in so much pain, she is always worried about taking more than the maximum daily dose and has never taken more than directed. How do I get rid of this history or flags and make these doctors realize she is not pill seeker? She is just looking for a solution that apparently 8 years of med school isn't enough to solve in this day in age..
Can someone be marked as a pill seeker on their medical records? If so, how can it be removed?

I have heard that it takes 2 years to get off that red flag list, and some docs don't even look at the list. I find its the young docs that use it more. Its a Bitch...

There isn't any real way to ensure that future doctors won't be stingy with the pain medicine. However, you can help yourself out by doing a few certain things - to start, when she has an appointment, be certain you have the time/gas money to get to the same pharmacy every time. I know it can't always be helped, but try. I'd go for something 24/7 over cheaper, since that way you'll have an easier time doing the same one each time.
Another is to look for a pain specialist. They are, if nothing else, better about giving detox doses if they choose to withhold an rx suddenly. I haven't reached the point in TMJ issues to go that route myself, especially without insurance, but everyone in the online TMJ communities seem to agree that dentists are not reliable for pain meds - if nothing else, they aren't supposed to see you often enough to check for toxic side effects!

I dont see how this is even possible. If you dont fill your prescriptions with insurance. They dont ask for ID so the only thing they know for sure is a first and last name. And I always use my nickname so thats not even official anyway. Plus theres lots of people with the same names. Its not like they use middle names or social security numbers or drivers license numbers. I dont see how they can track a person with only a name, birthdate, and an address that you verbally tell them so you could lie about that anyway.
Not sure what pharmacy you use Ocean, but it's standard practice to ID anyone filling a controlled substance. Even paying cash, all pharmacies have a centralized data base to prevent doctor shopping. I'm sure there are ways around this but that would def label someone a seeker. This questioner is not. The best thing to do is NOT except scripts from several different doctors. Have just 1 in charge of pain control. The best thing to do is find a good pain specialist. Take care...
and their is now an intra state report made and and interstate report made. However, I do want to say that this is new and this person may have nothing to fear. If there aren't a ton of other highly sought after on the street meds but RX'ed and gone thru quickly meds on this persons record, she should be fine. Please do check into appointing a family friend or family member in the medical field to some degree to act as a patient advocate if you ever need it. And don't go thru the meds too fast repeatedly, that is one thing that makes ya look kinda bad.

When you do find your final doctor, make sure you are totally honest with everything you have gone through thus far & even to the point of voicing your fears as stated above. To my knowledge, to be labelled, it's not just about going to difference doctors, but each one would have to give you a maximum dosage prescription, which then would be takin to different pharmacies. Here in our area they make you consent to a pain contract which states which pharmacy you use & you can't go to any other or else that doctor will drop you. I believe that if your wife has been labelled a pill seeker, she would have been told by the doctors, hospitals & pharmacies already.
